Our Services

12 Week Challenge

Our biggest weight loss and body transformation event of the year kicks off every February in club and online.

Fernwood’s 12 Week Challenge is a complete mind, body and life transformation. The Challenge gives you the flexibility to compete online or combine your online program with hands-on coaching and support in club with a Fernwood Personal Trainer and Food Coach.

You’ll receive full meal plans, shopping lists and recipes based on the Mediterranean diet; weekly workouts to tone and sculpt; mindset sessions and a journal to track your results; plus tips and tools every day to help you make a change – for good.

Connect, support and draw inspiration from your 12 Week Challenge teammates in club – and get in touch with thousands of other women competing in the challenge online.

Before I started the Challenge I was a bit sceptical about personal training – I thought it was a waste of money. But I haven’t been able to stop it. It keeps you there, you’re accountable to someone… you’re constantly answerable.

I used to believe that people who went through amazing weight loss transformations were just lucky, now I believe there are no chosen ones when it comes to weight loss. If I can do it, anybody can!

Boot Camp

Boot Camp: The Fernwood Military Miss Bootcamp

Take advantage of Fernwood’s boot camp program and break the limits of your fitness.

The Military Miss Bootcamp program focuses on intensity and endurance, and while the physical and mental demands are broad and challenging, this Fernwood boot camp is also great fun. Recruits are pushed to reach their peak physical fitness while at the same time being encouraged to break the mental boundaries that restrict them.

The boot camp program package is designed to tone and tighten the body, and improve core strength and cardiovascular fitness by truly pushing each recruit to better their current physical limits.

This military styled boot camp is as empowering as it is physically beneficial. It gives Fernwood women the strength to break through the different factors that may block their fitness progression.

Fernwood’s Military Miss Bootcamp aims to be tough; however it is also designed to be great fun. It is the perfect way to get fit and meet a new group of people, all while staying active and having a good time.

Talk to your nearest Fernwood gym today about the benefits and availability of the Military Miss Bootcamp program, and take the first steps to empowering yourself and increasing your fitness.

Once upon a time, personal training was just for Hollywood actors and reality TV show participants. But Fernwood personal training is for every woman and it’s part of your essential toolkit for a healthy and lean body.

What is Personal Training?

Fernwood Personal Training Program is designed to give women the best results in the shortest amount of time. It’s that simple, and nothing beats it. The sessions are 30 minutes, one-on-one, with a strength training focus that will give you an all-over workout. And your workout sessions are tailored to your specific needs and fitness goals.

So what are the benefits?

Every six weeks, your personal trainer will provide you with a new program so that you get the variety you need for an effective workout over time – and you’ll never get bored. So that we don’t waste time, your session will be designed to incorporate exercises that use multiple muscles at once, giving you more of a workout for your time and money.

Get the results you want!

The personal trainer’s job is to push you more than you would yourself – but between the two of you you’ll determine how much you want to be pushed. Just remember: the harder you work out, the better the results.

At Fernwood, you will only work with qualified personal trainers, so you’ll be safe in their hands. You’ll also find that they are a great bunch of women. Plus, at the end of your session, you’ll get a shoulder and neck massage – now that’s having your trainer work for you!

Each unique body type requires a different balance of macronutrients – carbs, protein and fat – to function optimally throughout the day. When we get that balance wrong, we disrupt our hormonal balance, resulting in upset sleep patterns, a higher risk of a range of disorders, and excess weight. So if you’re finding it hard to shift those extra kilos, it’s a possibility you have that balance wrong.

What It’s Like

WHERE IT ALL STARTED

The first Fernwood Women’s Health Club opened in Bendigo in 1989. Less than twenty-five years later, we now have over 69 fitness clubs situated in every state of Australia, giving our 68,000 members access to our unique women’s-only approach to health and fitness.

Our goal: to give women the confidence they need to succeed in all they do. Seeing our members achieve their goals, and hearing their amazing stories, inspires us to continue delivering world-class health clubs and programs to women across Australia.

WHAT YOU CAN EXPECT

There’s no need to feel apprehensive when you first step foot inside a Fernwood club. We’ll be there to guide you every step of the way during your first 28 days in the club, and online. As a new Fernwood member, you’ll receive our revolutionary new online 28 Day Breakthru as part of your membership. We’ll teach you everything you need to know about weight loss, nutrition, mindset and exercise. So if you’re a beginner, even better – we’ll show you how to get it right from the start!

On your first visit you’ll meet with your Fitness Coach who will help you set some really solid goals and create an action plan for you to work towards during your first 28 days. We’ll also book you in for a cardio and strength training workshop, to get you feeling confident on the gym floor. As you begin to get comfortable, start trying different group fitness classes and trying new machines – after a couple of weeks you’ll feel like a regular.

During the first week, you might experience a few muscle aches and pains. That’s normal – you’ll be using muscles you may not have worked for some time. Just take it at your own pace and remember to have a rest day now and then. Try all the different cardio machines, take your time exploring all the resistance machines, and don’t forget to check out the group fitness timetable. A yoga class might be just what you need to soothe those aching muscles!

By the end of the first month, you’ll know exactly what you’re doing and will have hopefully met some new gym buddies. Keep things interesting by trying different classes, mixing up your workouts and challenging yourself. If you’re not feeling confident in what you’re doing, or need some extra motivation, book a few sessions with a Personal Trainer – they’re always available to give your workout an extra boost!

By scheduling in your gym sessions and making them part of your weekly routine, you’ll give yourself the best shot at reaching your health goals and feeling on top of the world!
